An earthquake of magnitude 4 occurred in Kyrgyzstan on April 15 at 14:49. The power of the earthquake was also felt in the territories of Uzbekistan, reports the Center for Seismological Monitoring. Earthquake coordinates: 40.87 degrees north latitude; 73 degrees east longitude. Magnitude M=4. The depth is 15 kilometers. The epicenter of the earthquake is 320 kilometers southeast of Tashkent. Uzbekistan's regional influence: in Khanabad district - 3 points; In Korgontepa district - 2-3 points. A few days ago, the head of the Ministry of Emergencies of Kazakhstan, Yuriy Ilin, noted that the situation in Turkey prompted Kazakhstan to pay special attention to seismic safety issues. According to Ilin, more than 40 percent of the territory of Kazakhstan experienced this natural disaster. The Institute of Seismology, which was transferred to the FVV system, was almost unfunded for many years. In 2023, in Almaty, where this institute is located, more than 30 stations will be installed that will analyze the earthquake risk in detail. The stations will be commissioned by the end of this year at the expense of the local budget according to the order of the President of Kazakhstan.
